ChiChi's Note: Owie, my head hurts… mmm I'm really tired right now but I still wrote this. I really hope that you like it. I made it longer! It might not be 100 percent up to its normal potential because my head hurts too much to function. Well thanks for reviewing and enjoy!

Little Girl

Tama opened her eyes and stared at her window. Rays of sunlight fell into the cabin, scattering light over the small space. She smiled and lazily closed her eyes again. She embraced the warmth of the blankets and snuggled up to her pillow. She had a peaceful night's sleep for the first time in ages. She did not have a weird dream for once. She dreamt that she was a child playing in a field overflowing with flowers. The sun was setting and in the distance, she could see a white mansion. Tama felt so free as she ran through the field. As she passed through the flower patches, a large group of butterflies would fly out from them then return into their dwelling. At the very end of her dream, she could hear a woman shouting out to her from the mansion, "Honey! We don't want to be late for the ballet!"

Tama heard a grumble come from the foot of her bed. She sat up and looked at the little ball of fur staring back at her. "Spinel! How did you get inside?" she scooped him into her arms and hugged him tightly, "It doesn't matter. Don't you run off on me like that again!"

Spinel meowed in response and hopped back onto the bed. Tama giggled and got out of bed. She moved over to her dresser and stared at the two dresses left in the drawers. She grabbed both of them and looked over at Spinel, "Which one?"

Spinel's head turned to the plain black dress with lace circling around the waistline. She carelessly threw the other dress over her shoulder and laughed. Sometimes she thought Spinel was too smart for the average cat.

She lined the dress up with her body and looked down, "This should do."

Tama sighed and clutched the dress to her heart, "I hope the dream I had was a memory of mine…"

She quickly changed into the dress and flattened out the wrinkles in it. She grabbed two black ribbons and began tying a strand of her hair, "Could you imagine it Spinel? Me…" she paused and began tying the next strand on the other side, "… no. Us, being wealthy!"

She grinned and turned to Spinel, "You'd like that, wouldn't you?"

Spinel purred and hopped off the bed and followed Tama into the kitchen. She grabbed a bowl and poured some cat food into it. She then grabbed a slice of bread and began nibbling on it. 'What do I have to do today?' she wondered. She tapped her index finger against the counter, as she tried to remember. She clapped her hands together, "I'm having lunch with Syaoran and Sakura!"

She stuffed the rest of the bread in her mouth and ran to the door. "I'll be back as soon as I can Spinel!" she shouted as she went out the door.

Tama hurried into the restaurant and was greeted by a waiter. "Good morning, have Sakura and Syaoran arrived yet?" she enquired.

The waiter checked the list at his booth, "Reservation under Li for three. No not yet, but you may go and take a seat while you wait."

Tama nodded and walked over to a vacant table. She was having troubles squeezing through the crowded room and weaving through the mob of servers. Someone collided against her, making her fall over. "Ouch," she muttered, but in this town, they would claim that it was her fault. She reluctantly apologized, "I wasn't looking where I was going, I'm sorry."

She looked up and saw a hand held out to her. She took and got up on her feet. "No, it was my fault," the person's voice answered.

She stared at the gentleman who helped her up. He was the same age as Tama and was Japanese… no half-Japanese with dark navy hair. Sunglasses hid his eyes and he was dressed in from head-to-toe in black. "Um…" Tama couldn't find a way to respond to him.

The boy laughed, "Thank you would be good."

Tama blushed, "Ah, yes. Thank you," she giggled, "My name's Tama."

As she waited for his response, she stared at his sunglasses. She supposed that when she was younger, she was taught to look into the person's eyes when she spoke. It would explain why she would always look at them when she was having a conversation. She saw him tilt his head to the side. She shook the thoughts out of her head, "I'm sorry, what?"

"I said that my name's Hiiragizawa."

She gasped, "I know you!"

His eyebrows rose at her comment and a smile slowly crept onto his lips. Tama thought over what she just said, "Oh no, that's not what I meant. I mean, this little girl. I saw her in the forest near my cottage. I think she's looking for you."

Hiiragizawa stopped smiling and went over to the unoccupied table. The two took a seat across from each other. "Yes, I know who you speak of. That girl is someone dear to me. I lost her, but now…" he paused and stared at Tama from behind his dark sunglasses, "I found you."

Tama's eyes widened, 'I must be hearing things. Did he just say, I found YOU?' She looked directly at him, "Wh-What did you say?"

He smirked and looked over at the entrance, "I said that I found her"

Tama inwardly gave a sigh of relief then gave a confident smile, "Well I'm glad. I was worried that she was still wandering around."

There was a brief silence then Hiiragizawa spoke, "You could say that she still is."

"What?" Tama covered her mouth with her hands and gave a worried look.

Hiiragizawa stood from his seat and turned away, "If you excuse me, I have a pressing matter to attend to."

Tama stood up from her chair, "No, wait!"

But he disappeared into the crowd of people before she could catch him. She frowned and threw herself back into her seat. She tapped her fingers impatiently on the table, 'What if that little girl is still out there. She could get attacked by some animal, or even be hurt and no one can help her! I hope she's okay.'

"TAMA!" an energetic voice shouted.

Tama looked up and saw Sakura and Syaoran already sitting in front of her. "Sorry, I was thinking," Tama shook her head, laughing, "So, what took you guys so long?"

"Oh, I don't know why, but my house got infested with bugs," Sakura sighed, "It took so long for Syaoran to get them out."

Syaoran scowled, "Those weren't ordinary bugs Sakura. They don't even exist in the world."

"What were they?" Tama enquired.

"Oh, nothing special. Just some butterflies," Sakura replied.

"They were black. There is no such thing," Syaoran stated.

As the couple argued, Tama thought about the boy that she recently met. She knew there was something wrong with him. He was acting very suspicious. She sighed and returned her attention to the couple in front of her. Instead, she found herself staring at a pair of amber eyes. "Are you okay Tama? You seem to be really zoned out lately," Syaoran noted.

"Oh, it's nothing," Tama laughed. When she noticed the two's doubtful expressions, she frowned, "I'm telling the truth. I was just thinking about this guy that I-"

Sakura took a deep breath with a big smile on her face, "That's not 'nothing,' Tama!"

Tama blinked a few times, trying to understand what Sakura was implying. Syaoran let out a slight chuckle and leaned back in his seat, watching the show. Tama slowly repeated what Sakura just said then frowned. "I DO NOT HAVE A BOYFRIEND!" she boomed.

The entire restaurant went silent and everyone stared in her direction. Tama glared at all of the customers, "Yes, I already know. 'That Tama is a strange one,'" she mimicked.

"So who is he?" Sakura edged on, not seeing the uncomfortable state that Tama was already in.

"Sakura, I just met him," Tama rolled her eyes.

"What's his name?" Syaoran repeated jokingly.

Tama shook her head in defeat and stared at the smirking two with a frustrated look, "Okay. I met him before you two came. Do you anyone in this town called Hiiragizawa?"

The smiles on the couple's faces faded. "Is that supposed to be some kind of a joke!" Syaoran shouted.

"What?" Tama said in confusion.

She then noticed that everyone had stopped eating and serving again. Few people went back to their meals, feeling rather annoyed with the three sitting at that table, but many of them still stared at her. They were all staring at her because she said "Hiiragizawa"? Was it so wrong to say it? Maybe he did something to all these people? Was he a bad person in their opinion? Tama looked into Syaoran's eyes. He was furious, more than furious, he was enraged. He must have hated her right about now.

She stared back at the other people. She honestly wished for them to look away, but their accusing eyes still rested on her. Did they not know how it felt when everyone was staring at you, and you knew exactly what they were thinking? And she knew exactly what they were thinking… no. Demanding. "Fine," she muttered and stormed out of the restaurant.

Tama shoved her cabins door open and pushed it shut. She collapsed against the door, tears pouring from her beautiful lilac eyes. She ran her fingers through her hair as she tried to stop crying.

Meow. Purrrrrrrrrrrr.

Tama opened her eyes and saw her kitten cuddling up against her leg. She gave out a sorrowful laugh, "What are we going to do Spinel? We have nowhere to go, but I can't take another day in this town."

Tama rubbed her eyes and walked into the kitchen. She placed the kettle of water and went over to her cupboards to get the chocolate powder. She reached for the cupboard but once she touched the wooden door, she noticed some powder falling from the bottom of the cupboard. She opened the door and watched all her chocolate powder fall out like an avalanche. Tama looked down at the mess and began crying even more. Today was not a good day for her. She looked up into her cupboard to see what spilt it but she saw nothing inside the dark cabinet. She raised herself up on her tiptoes and stuck her hand inside, trying to find the reason why the chocolate spilled over. Suddenly she felt something brush against her hand. She let out a yelp and slammed the cupboard's door shut.

"Don't be afraid," a tranquil voice said from behind her.

Tama whipped around and saw the little girl from the forest. Once again, her back was facing her, and she was staring up at the mirror hanging on her wall. She was far too short to even reach the mirror. Tama took a step closer to the girl, "How did you get in here?"

There was no answer from the girl. She just stared up at the mirror, occasionally tilting her head from side to side. Tama went to take another step towards her, but her attention was then brought to the kettle, which was making a shrilling noise. She quickly removed it from the stove and looked back at the girl. "Well, I suppose that it's better that you're here instead of out there," Tama concluded, "Would you like some hot chocolate?"

The girl nodded her head and resumed gazing at the mirror. Tama grabbed two cups and stared at the powder on the counter. She shrugged and dusted some off the counter and into the cups. She brushed her hand against the material of her dress then poured the hot water into the cups. "I'm sorry. I don't have any milk so we'll just have to survive on chocolate water," Tama took the girl's cup and placed it on the table behind her.

The girl took notice and slightly turned her head to look at the cup. "Do you know anyone named Hiiragizawa?" Tama enquired.

The girl hung her head. "What's wrong?" Tama demanded. She had no clue why everyone seemed to be angered by his name.

"It is nothing that you did. It's just that his soul is filled with sorrow and darkness," the girl stared up at the mirror once again, "He is unhappy… and that makes me unhappy. Does it make you sad?"

"No one deserved to be unhappy," Tama replied taking a sip of her drink, "Even if you know the person that well."

Suddenly, everything began shaking. All her cupboard doors flung open and everything spilled out of them. A swarm of black insects came flying out of the cupboards. One of them landed on her hand and then she realized that they were black butterflies. The tremors became worse and she began to lose balance. Every delicate object in the cabin began to break. Tama clutched the counter forcefully and looked over at the girl who was still looking up at the mirror. She was not being affected at all by the quake. She just stood there watching the mirror. Tama didn't understand it. What importance did that mirror have?

Scratch Scratch Scratch

Tama turned her head to the side and watched in horror as words were being scratched magically on the inside of her cabinets. "You have no idea how wrong you are…" the girl's voice rose above all the other noises in the cabin, "You will remember!"

And there, the words finished. Inside every cabinet was the name 'Hiiragizawa.' Tama looked over at the girl. Was she the one doing all of this? The girl shot a look at the door and everything stopped shaking. The sound of glass shattering resounded in the cabin. The girl stared down at the ground; at the broken mirror lying at her feet. They remained silent. Tama was struck with confusion. 'What just happened?' she wondered.

Her eyes scanned all the cupboards. There was nothing on the outside, but the inside was covered with his name. "Tama?" a familiar voice came from outside, "Tama are you here? It's Sakura!"

Tama frantically shut all of her cupboards, remembering how Sakura and Syaoran reacted to his name. What would she think if she saw it carved all over her stuff? She ran over to the door but stopped and looked over at the girl, "If you want… you can stay," she offered, not sure if she made the right choice.

She opened the door and let her friend in. Sakura gasped when she saw the mess in the cabin, "What happened?"

"Some kids snuck in and destroyed everything," Tama lied.

"Shame on them. They have no right to do stuff like that to you!" Sakura looked around the small space, "Who were you talking to?"

"Oh the girl over…" Tama looked over in the kitchen but saw no one, "Where did she go?"

ChiChi's Note: Hm, I think I should end it there. I wanted to write so much more but I'm way too tired to do it. Okay I might not update in the next 3 weeks.
